This past Monday night’s edition of WWE RAW on USA Network did a 3.7 cable rating, continuing WWE’s recent post-WrestleMania ratings slide.

• This week’s edition of WWE RAW earned a 3.7 cable rating. The show did hours of 3.3 and 4.0. This is a lot lower than expected, which could be credited to the debut of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.

With WrestleMania 23 just a few weeks away, WWE is pulling excellent ratings across the board.

This week’s edition of WWE RAW did a 4.3 cable rating with a 6.5 share. This is the highest number since June 19, 2006 (the RAW after the reformation of Degeneration X). The show earned hours of 4.2 and 4.3.

Last Friday’s edition of SmackDown did a 3.3 cable rating with a 5.6 share. This is the best number of since moving to the Friday night timeslot.

• This past Monday’s edition of WWE RAW did a 4.0 cable rating, with a 6.0 share. That number is slightly lower than the 4.1 cable rating that WWE did two weeks ago.

• Tuesday’s ECW on Sci Fi drew its lowest rating of the series finishing up with only a 1.3 cable rating, with a 2.0 share. That is down from last week’s 1.5 cable rating. ECW on Sci Fi did quarter hours of 1.2, 1.4, 1.3, 1.3 and a 1.6 overrun.

• Friday night's edition of WWE Friday Night Smackdown drew a 2.9 fast national rating.

• As reported earlier, the 2/15 edition of WWE RAW (a special Thursday night show) drew a final 3.0 cable rating with a 4.4 share. The first hour scored a 2.8 rating, while the second hour scored a 3.2 rating.

• The 2/5 edition of WWE Monday Night RAW drew a final 4.1 cable rating. The first hour scored a 4.0 rating, while the second hour scored a 4.1 rating. This was down slightly from last week's 4.2 number.

• The 2/2 edition of WWE Friday Night Smackdown drew a final - and very strong - 3.1 broadcast rating with a 5.2 share. That is believed to be the best number Smackdown has scored since moving to Friday night.

The most recent edition of WWE SmackDown! posted a 3.1/5 rating, according to Fast National data from Nielsen.

Although the performance did not propel The CW above fifth place among the major broadcast networks, it's a positive figure for both WWE and the network. WWE benefits from having increased exposure (one of its best SmackDown! numbers to date) going into WrestleMania 23 and The CW benefits from having a solid performance on its first Friday of the February Sweeps period.
